Magnificent Berowra Waters

Berowra Waters (BW) is probably one of the best-kept secret around Sydney. Berowra Waters is the small river settlement north of Sydney and less than an hour from city. The Berowra waters is surrounded by famous Ku-ring-gai chase

national parks. It is a perfect union of natural bushland and aquatic, with spectacular national park to the east, the Berowra valley regional park to the west, and the Hawkesbury river to the north.

Berowra Waters is a wonderful spot for a great day out on a warm sunny day with friends and family. It is less than an hour from Sydney and just off the F3 freeway.

Activities

BBQ Boat

﻿﻿﻿

You can plan many activities, including swimming, boating, fishing, bushwalking or just casual dining on the waterfront.

My favourite activity is to hire a barbeque boat (BBQ boat) and sail down the beautiful Hawkesbury River. If you just want to go out in water for couple of hours, you can also hire canopy aluminium boats (Tiny’s).There is no licence required and activity is safe for kids as well.
